Blood Donation Radar - Switzerland

Introduction

Welcome to the Blood Donation Radar - Switzerland Dashboard!
We are Benjamin and Kevin, students specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at HSLU. This is our Data Visualisation project.

The idea for the project came by visiting the offical homepage of the Blutspende SRK Schweiz (https://www.blutspende.ch/de/blutspende), where they show a barometer for a region of Switzerland.

We extended this information by creating the dashboard, which includes a Switzerland map and some graph views.

We used synthesised data for the project, so please be aware this project is only for visualisation purposes and contains no official data!

Walkthrough

To show you the main features, here is a quick walkthrough of our dashboard.

Landing view

You can start by selecting the canton you live in and your blood type. This will set the filters to your preferences. The filters can also be changed in the dashboard.

Map view

Shows an overview of the blood reserves in days for all of Switzerland by canton.

Status view

Displays the status of blood reserves by canton for all blood groups.

Graph view

This graph shows the blood shortage for selected blood groups and cantons over a specific time period. The threshold line makes it easy to see when the blood shortage occurred.

Data view

The datatable can be found here and can also be exported as a CSV file.
